A beer atop the table in a crowded and festive railcar bar.
About last night …. Metrobar was hopping with transit enthusiasts and #TranspoBINGO fans celebrating Metro’s 50th birthday. We had fun in the railcar bar and mingling with transit celebs. Anyone catch Randy Clarke riding metro?
I hope to make it out for a selfie and share a bigger metro memory, but I do find RIA funny to me. I grew up MD side redline but I believe I only been to RIA bc of the DMV, that’s right I took the metro to take care of driving things and yes I was still legally able to drive.
I have endless metro memories! Pic 1 is of the first time my family visited DC in 2012 and took metro (clearly they enjoyed)! I also took 🚇 the day Marty joined me in calling DC home in 2018, and every #TranspoBingo since has been a joy! I also took students, my bike, and so many things on metro!
Selfie at Rhode Island Ave Metro while the party was hopping. So many Metro memories, often with the kids. The chaotic rides when we’re all together, bike on the bus, and Metro to shop local! #TranspoBINGO
This is so charming!
RIA is my local station, so I didn't ride to the station, but I did walk. When we moved to DC many years ago, I preceded my wife by several months. When she officially moved, I welcomed her to town with a SmarTrip card. #TranspoBINGO
Turning 50 today has us feeling a bit nostalgic. 🥹🤎
It’s been an honor of a lifetime being America’s Metro system. 🚇🚍🚐 Here’s to the next 50 years! 🥳

Also omw there I took part of my old commute from Kingman to Union Station by streetcar. RIP, random people were bonding over bidding it farewell during our ride. Transit connects people to each other and their city! #TranspoBingo
Thanks for riding with us--thrilled to be a part of this fun event! 🚆😄
Great fun was had by all! So many takeaways, but a big one was that vre is only $5 and quick in getting from union station to Alexandria! We also rode the free Trolley bus down King St, which was a delight!

Yes! We always thank our transit workers!!!
VRE and boats, what more could you want?! This will also continue my month-long streak of visiting Alexandria once a week, which is super out of character for me!
